New York City years ago
Tourists in the rain
Singin' on the swing shift
For penniesThinkin' 'bout the bayou
Cajun river song
It almost got my head broke
In TexasPurple Peacock, Honky Tonk
Eunice, Louisiana
Bourbon whiskey free, son
Just tune up the pianoWorkin' clubs in New Orleans
Bringin' down a dollar
College boys drink beer
And throw the bottlesIt's been a long, long, long way
I got some more to go
Don't look at my shadow
It's behind meIt's been a long, long, long way
In twenty years or so
Thinkin' 'bout those times
Might amuse meIt's been a long, long, long way
I got some more to go
Don't look at my shadow
It's behind meIt's been a long, long, long way
In twenty years or so
Thinkin' 'bout those times
Might amuse meL.A., Forum Sports Arena
Twenty thousand fans
Gals, you come to listen, I'm gonna
Give you everything I canI've always had to play my music
Play it best I could
Hope you're on the stands
And get me goodYou know that California dreamin'
Nearly put me down for good
Colorado, Rocky Mountains
Saved my sensesIt's been a long, long, long way
I got some more to go
Don't look at my shadow
It's behind meIt's been a long, long, long way
In twenty years or so
Thinkin' 'bout those times
Might amuse me
